I wasn't commenting on the new Kodiak. My wifes 2012 Kodiak 450 feels mushy on turns, specially when going down hill. This new machine, I know is totally different, I was wondering how the 2016 units feel out on the trails. I am 90% sure I'm going to buy one but wanted to hear from guys that have already purchased a new one and could comment on their performance.
They look like a great machines, there just aren't enough comments on them by riders yet. I was hoping someone who has one that has put on some miles trail riding could give some info on their experience with their new rides. Like do they feel tippy? How does the suspension feel over rocks or going fast over potholes. Can't find that out in a dealership parking lot. With the heavier clutch does it still have good jam starting out? I live in a mountainous area, has anyone seen what it can do going up long steep trails?
